Moonlight Story Strip Harbin Hot Springs, California 2010
I lie in my green hammock Under the moon With the river roaring by
I feel gentle movement Suspended in the hammock Which presses around my body Comforting me in the way A lover does with his body
I sway in green cocoon I sway in warmth I float
“Do you feel ready?” Asks the moon I feel another shift about to rip within “Yes,” I answer
I ground myself I look around at the beauty in the silent darkness Roar of water the only sound
“You’ll need a strong witness for this,” Shares the moon My teacher My lover My family
“I am ready.” I pause
And in a moment all fades Into NOTHING I fall into a space Of NOTHING
Even the word NOTHING Feels like it has substance This is a space Beyond nothing Beyond words
All the stories All that I now feel to be real All that I know Fades into nothing I’m dropped alone Into that nothingness
I realize that even now Deep into this awakening All that I now believe to be real All that I use to guide me through the days Is simply what I am using to survive
“Yes, love. Everything will shift endless times on you All that you know to be real Will be stripped out of that reality Yet remember love You are strong enough to slip pass these spaces You know who you are And the essence is truth For now.”
All is simply For now
Everything will be different Everything can change All can be stripped away Into nothingness
And even in that space of nothingness When all my stories are gone I still continue
My spirit-form encased in physical body Expressing its love and life Moving through space Continues
And somehow This too will pass.
